Anna Waser (1675-c.1713): Anna Waser was born in Zurich in 1675. From an early age she demonstrated her talent as an artist--an early self-portrait executed with considerable technical skill was painted when she was only twelve. Her reputation as a skilled miniaturist enabled her to receive commissions from all over Europe.
